TALK TO FARM BOYS.

Farm boys. you need not envy the
young men who stand behind the coun-
tiers of the city shops. You need not
envy the young men who are making
ready to take the places of the great
army of lawyers and pettifoggers who
are subsisting by the litigatons of quar-
relsome and contentious clients. And
certainly you ought not to envy the boys
who have no employment at all; those
who are growing up to manhood with
out acquiring Industrious habits upon
which to rely in times of great need and
pressing emergencies. whose dleness in

which ante-dates every other vocation

The Feather Nantes of Hawaii.

Probably no royal regalia has contained
such priceless treasure as the Mamo, or
feather mantle, handed down from the
time of Hamehameha the Great, or the
"Conqueror," to his successors. This
gorgeous robe was the result of the labor
of chosen artists during the reign of
eight monarchs previous to Kamehame-
has. Its length was four feet and it had
a spread of eleven and half feet at bot
tom. The feathers We're worked in on a
groundwork of coarse net, and to this
the delicate figures were attached with a
skill and grace worthy of the most
skilled artist of the present day. The
feathers forming the border were re-
vcrsed, the whole presenting a bright yell
low color resembling a mantle of gold.
The birds from which these splendid
feathers were plucked were known as the
600 or royal Bird" and they have but
two of the kind, one under each wing.
The species (NIelthrepetes Pacitica) were
captured only by great stratagem, and
with much risk to life, in the mount
ainous districts of Hawaii These
feathers were valued at fifty cents each.
No less than 81 900, 900 were expended

Looking at it in the light of the scarcity
of the materials of which it was COM

times. and be remembered as the shroud
of the last of his race, Lunalilo, the
Peoples King the erratic, beloved
and liberal Prince Bill, who was the
predecessor of Kalakaua, husband of our
royal visitor.
There is only one other cloak of this
kind in Hawaii-the one used to cover
the tllrone-and as the birds from which
the feathers We're obtained are extinct, it
is beyond price. New York Sun

Peculiarities of Male Telegraph Operators
The other night, at the New York
bureau of a western newspaper, the tel
egraph operator was busily engaged in
transmitting the latest news. 1t was
noticed that while he manipulated the
key with his right hand fingers he kept
drumming on the table with a lead pen
Gil held in his left hand. When his right
hand stopped SO did the left. After
watching the knight of the key several
moments reporter ventured to remark
that he seemed very nervous. The OPP
orator smiled and said that such was not
the case. but that 80 per cent. of the
male telegraphers accompany the trans
hitting movements of their right hands
in various ways. Some operators drum
on the table, while Others tap the floor
with one of their feet, like a musician
keeping time to music. An operator en-
ployed by the Baltimore and Ohio COM
pany IN this city cannot transmit with
out holding his left hand across his face
and gently patting it. Another operator
duplicates the dots and dashes which his
right hand forms by wiggling the lobes
of his ears with the idle hand. These
peculiarities are not noticeable among
women telegraphers. New York Sun.

The merchandise Mexico has sent to us has grown from S5,2O4,- 264, in 1877, to s1o,6s7,972, in 1886. Our merchandise exports to that country amounted to S5,S93, ,494 in the former year and S7,737,623 in the latter. Mexico's commercial relations with the United States are more extensive than with any other nation. We buy from that country so per cent of all the mer- chandise it sells abroad, and we sell to it B per cent of all the mer- chandise which it buys. The new tariff which went into effect in Mexico July 1st will undoubtedly extend and strengthen the trade, social and political ties which bind the United States to its neighbor- ing republic in the Southwest.

IT is not in merchandise alone that the trade of the United States with Mexico has been important in recent years. The value of the precious metals which we have re- ceived from that country has been larger than merchandise, and it has been growing to an extent al- together unsuspected by the aver age intelligent newspaper reader.

A Busy Cat Doctor.

There is a cat doctor who runs q
drug store in Washington who, it Is
said, is doing the most thriving prac-
tice Of any alleviator OF the Ills OF
the feline and canine races of any
man in his profession in the whole
country. This physician has the high
est class of callers of any professional
man in the ty, as only the most aris-
tocratic can afford to have an expert
wait upon their pets. At times as
many as three or four carriages, owned
by the most refined and wealthy people
at the national capital. are drawn up
in front of the drug store and Office,
and his business is so large that Gus
toners with their patients have to wait
their turns. like men in barber shops.
1t is seldom that man enters the drug
store or Office for the purpose Of re-
ceving professional call from tho
doctor. They are almost invariably
women.
The doctor was philosophlzing yes
terday to some gentlemen on the gen
ial ais of cats and dogs, during which
he stated that more trouble came from
a lack of fresh air and exercise than
anything else. He especially depre-
cated the fact that these household
pets were guarded so closely in the
house, and were not allowed TO romp
around like children.
IL could name" he said, families
in this city that guard as closely their
pet cats and dogs as they do their chill
dren. Large numbers of them have
cribs and cradles and lounges made for
their pets and cuhoned in the most
comfortable manner possible. AT one
place | visited recently | found fine
old Maltese reclining on pillow OF
